Cup game today, so getting the post-match food in order for ourselves and our opponents. They say the first bite is with the eye.

Trees in the road as we make our way to today’s charity tournament in 50mph winds. We’ve been promised a cake stall. Thoughts and prayers to whoever’s putting the gazebo up.

These Ball Cars are getting ridiculous.

Possibly a slight delay to kick-off as the ground staff appear to have left a tractor in the middle of the pitch. Kind of wish we were joking.

Oh god

💚 GAMEDAY 💚 Opening day. Bleary-eyed badgers, grudgingly waking from their summer hibernation, rise and sniff the air. A trip west(?) to play East(?) Oxford. Another season in Division 3 beckons, with all the Streety nonsense that entails. Love. Peace. Freedom. Team news to follow 💚

TOMORROW our season begins, and it's entirely possible we've gone overboard with the match graphics. JOIN US on our adventures as we dedicate ourselves to the overthrow of evil forces/avoiding relegation from the Oxfordshire Senior League Division Three. LOVE 💚 PEACE ☮️ FREEDOM 🕊️ UNION STREET 🦡

🙏 SHARES APPRECIATED 🙏 WANTED: grassroots football teams with good vibes and a social conscience to connect with and (who knows) maybe play friendlies and stuff with. Any ages/abilities/genders welcome. If you know of such a team with a presence on Bluesky, please do send them Union Street's way 👇💚

A beautiful day 💚🧡 (the result, Union Street have unilaterally decided, wasn’t important)

Today’s friendly is with our pals at Oxford Phoenix. Phoenix are dedicated to creating a safe space for young refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, & USFC are proud to have helped support them on their journey to becoming one of the first refugee-based clubs to be admitted to the FA pyramid 💚🧡

Good morning x

It’s a nice day ☀️

I don’t think I have ever been this sweaty in my life and I am generally a sweaty man.

Bloody hell that was hot Some classic pre-season nonsense from tonight’s fixture. One goal in the opening hour, seven in the last 30 minutes. A 5-3 defeat, two penalty saves and a worrying amount of minutes in our decrepit legs. ONWARDS 💚

💚 MATCH DAY 💚 We continue to pick listlessly at the smörgåsbord of our pre-season fixture list with an evening runabout against local types Wheatley FC. Our team is cobbled together, we have no goalkeeper, and best of all the ANTICIPATED TEMPERATURE AT KO IS THIRTY-TWO DEGREES CELCIUS.

Morning 💚

If you’ve newly followed Union Street FC: hello and thanks! Here’s our new home kit. It is much, much nicer than the football we play 💚

Support your local clubs (pt 1). With values we can get behind.

Hi Bluesky, we're Union Street FC - a ragtag amateur football team based in Oxford. Club motto: Love 💚 Peace ☮️ Freedom 🕊️ Values: good causes, fair play, supporting the refugee community and failing to defend corners. Currently scrapping it out in Oxfordshire Senior League Div 3. Come say hi x
